In Brief, And To The Point,

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver
is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good
nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo-
pie so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember: = No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and baI piness to the dys-
peptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle.

were correct as far as they went, but he
did not get all the way through.
You will observe that instead of the
taxes from the whisky traffic paying
500, 600 in excess of the cost of prosecu
tions as presented and made to appear
by Mr.. Hogg, the facts are that the cost

revenue derived from the liquor dealers
by s1s2, 493. But suppose it did not. /

not n vulture to be fed and grow fat on

You will observe that the amount re-
ceived from liquor dealers is falling of

Judge Townes). The expense has in
creased from $3.50, 600 in 1888 to $685.

1t may be observed that the amount
Of occupation is put down at $685., 900
paid to counties, and 65, 900 paid to the

there is discrepancy will remember
that all occupation taxes are not whisky
taxes, and that many occupations are
taxed other than dealers in liquors.

extraordinary appropriations which are

STARTLING FIGURES.
Another Unmasking of the
"Revenue Bugaboo."
Ex-Compuoller Swain Shows That the
Adoption of the Prohibition Amend
ment will not Create Deficit.

AUSTIN, TEXAS, June Sth, 1887.
To b. IL. Carroll, Chairman of the Prohibition
state Central Committee;
DEAR Sm:-On my return home last
week found your letter requesting some
public expression of my views touching
the published statement of those
opposed to prohibition that the
loss of revenue and consequent in
crease of taxation will inevitably follow
the adoption of the prohibition amend
meDt.
have examined the records in the
comptrollers department pertaining to
revenue and take it that there is no
better way of getting the facts before
the public than to write the results of
my investigation to you.
1t is not denied that If the prohibition
amendment is adopted and the sale Of in
toxicating liquor prohibited by law, the
amount received for the license of that
traffic will fall off, and to that extent the
state will lose revenue, But TO so
further than that and proclaim to the
world that because Of the discontin-
uance of the liquor traffic in Texas, an
increase of taxation would unavoidably
follow. is to exhibit want of confidence
in the state administration; a great
ignorance of its financial condition, its
taxable values; the present rate of tax.
alton and the amounts received and the
amounts necessary for the current dis
bursements of the state government; or,
il shows a disregard of truth and an
evident attempt to deceive too confd-
ing public for political purposes
But, whatever be the motive, it is an
error to claim that increase Of taxation
will necessarily follow the adoption of
the amendment.
have been absent from the state
nearly thirty days, and am surprised that
the true figures have not been given the
public sooner. They may be found in

vote on the proposed amendment was
taken between Austin aud Taylor.
Hoods old brigade was ON board re-
turning from a reunion. a pro and
anti together took the vote, and 80
votes stood 81 pro, 45 anti. Later in
the day, between Waco and IT. Worth
another vote was taken the same way,
resulting 81 pro- l6 anti. This shows
the sentiment in an average crowd of

Thus we have before us the total
amount of the general revenue and total
ordinary and extraordinary appropra-
tions for two years. This gives us a net
cash balance on the 2Sth Of February,
1889, amounting to 5000, ,S7G. TO-
The amount paid by liquor dealers for
the next two years, If they pay as much
as was paid in 1885, would reach sum
equal to S702. 1888, showing a surplus of
S5s, SOB. 10 of revenues after leaving off
the liquor tax.
NV attention has been called to the
statement made by Attorney General

These figures give the gross amount
paid by the saloon men at 81, 024, 500.
but il is not the net revenue derived
from that source by the state for the
two years named. From that amount
should be deducted per cent for collec-
tors, or retained by them on settlement.
That would be the sol, ,225 and sixteen
&c. OO0) thousand dollars which were re-
funded to liquor dealers under act of
1885, the two aggregating the sum of
S67. 225, which taken from the amount
reported by Mr.. Hogg leaves the net
amount received by the state for the
time named by him. to be 1857, ,273. "a,
and not 81 ,O24, 800.
The figures given by Mr.. Hogg as the
expense account of the state in prose
cutting offenses, or growing out of such
prosecutions embrace only the following
items: Fees for district and county at
torneys sheriffs, clerks and witness fees,
criminal district judges and cost in
